About the history:
Historically, Merano has a lot to offer: from the glacier mummy “Ötzi”, the Raetians and Romans, to the Bavarians, who settled the area coming from the north.
Around 1100, Merano was still a small village, and it was only in the 12th century, under Meinhard II., that Merano developed into a medieval city. He had arcades, walls, and city gates built, and numerous residences and castles emerged in the surrounding area. However, the heyday was short-lived…
In the 19th century, even the Austrian Empress Sissi spent two winters in Merano in the 1870s. At that time, Merano experienced a renewed period of prosperity, but you will, of course, learn more about why and how in my city tour.
What awaits you on a city tour in Merano:

Moni’s Tip: Of course, the stop for refreshments afterwards should not be missed. A good glass of wine, Spaghetti Carbonara or Aglio e Olio, and a fine coffee, espresso, or a gelato. What more could your heart desire…
